Amulek's Visit

Oh, yes. And Amy and Lamoni's too...:) They all came to see us last week. We had a fun visit.

This little boy can smile now.

His Aunt Maddie smiles whenever she holds him.

He does love his Aunt Maddie.


We sure do love him. (Oh yes. And his mommy and daddy too!)

Camp NANA - Pirateland

Aaar! Watch out for these guys!


Can you mark "X" on the spot blindfolded?

There be treasure buried in that-there sandbox...

Lunch included octo-dogs, pirates on a log, and breadstick x’s. A big hit! Notice the Build-a-Bear pirate dogs and princesses we sewed and stuffed.

This may have been the most fun Camp Nana yet...

Camp NANA

Just finished the second official session of Camp Nana.

Last Monday was Gardenland and we started out with everyone posing for a photo in their Camp Nana shirts, fashioned by Aunt Ally.

We made beautiful garden stones and planted carrot seeds.

Our Pot Puppets made them look very festive.


This week was Jungleland and we made lion puppets, pebble animals, and sugar cookies.
We also sewed animal cards. Each session included songs, stories, games and activities too.

We still have Pirateland and Nanaland left, plus Little Mermaid at Tuacahn next Monday. More photos then!

Miracles

Linda now texts on a semi-regular basis.

In other news, Hell freezes over, pigs fly, and the fat lady sings.

Note to self: Next upgrade, purchase phone that is texter-friendly!

SIX!

Nana now has SIX beautiful grandkids. What a blessing!

Cousins

Oldest granddaughter, Julie, holding youngest grandson, Amulek.


Second graddaughter, Ally, and Amulek.


Tyler finally has a boy cousin on the paternal side!

Sydney isn't too sure about him. She's not a big fan of babies!


Aubrey thinks he's the cutest.

Baby Has a Name

Saints in Mexico love Book of Mormon names. So told us our stake patriarch who was a mission president in Mexico.

Lamoni is no exception. He LOVES his name and took naming their new son very seriously.

Adorable Baby Boy was nameless for ten days.


Last Sunday he was given a name and a blessing.


Meet AMULEK (DAD'S LAST NAME) (MOM'S LAST NAME.) (That's how they do it in Mexico.) In the USA he'll just be Amulek (Dad's last name.)

If you want to know what a cool guy AMULEK was, read Alma in the Book of Mormon from about chapter 10 on...


We still think he's just adorable.
